How to keep those annoying wobbly bits under wraps

Dear Fashion Editor:I have two beautiful children but my tummy has stayed stubbornly flabby. I’ve joined a gym and I’m hoping for good results but I need some flattering style ideas in the meantime.SuzanneLisa says:The trick to hiding a tummy is to draw attention away from your problem area. Look out for tops and dresses with an empire line – the seam under the bust. This will draw attention up away from your stomach and will lightly skim over your tummy.

Dear Fashion Editor:Ever since I was a teen I’ve been a classic pear shape with a not-too-dainty bottom.I often wear 1950s-style dresses but would like some other options, and struggle with jeans. Can you help with some ideas?oareeLisa says:You’re right that the A-line 1950s shape is good for hiding a bottom, but there are more options as well. I would recommend still keeping with the high-waisted look. If the cut of a dress or skirt is looser from the waist down it will still minimise your bottom half. Also look out for bootleg or flared jeans with a higher waist to add proportion.

Dear Fashion Editor:I can never understand why small-breasted women long to be larger! I’m a 16E and I feel really top heavy. A reduction isn’t viable financially so I need to dress as well as possible to minimise my “assets”! Any advice?oaramaLisa says:The first thing to do is to make sure your underwear fits you properly and helps you feel fabulous. As for clothing, a great rule of thumb for any top is that the neckline should sit lower than your clavicle. A V-neck helps to minimise width and a scoop-neck is also a good choice for you.Underwear expert Rachel from Bendon says, “Having the best underwear on completes your outfit – it can improve your posture, affect your confidence and make you feel fabulous. Always check the underwire is clear of the breast tissue and get fitted by an expert. oost of all, though, you should be comfortable.”
